Default Paper Space Shuttle

Gday all,

I downloaded and printed out these cut and stick together models for a cloudy night activity. Heaps of fun.

Baz.

Gotta love the Fortezza shuttle kits, I've built three myself and lost one.

Some other fun shuttle kits can be found here

Man, oh man, I would love to do something like that. Pity that I have ten thumbs but no fingers. :-(

I saw a book at one point (and for the life of me, I can't remember where, I only know it was online) that was a kit to make a working paper clock.

Which I thought would make a perfect first wedding anniversary, covering both the traditional (paper) and modern traditional (clocks) suggestions.

I've seen that too, as well as an assortment of other things.

I saw a working paper cuckoo clock in Mannheim. Everything was made of wood.

In my own cuckoo clock, everything is made of wood except the lead shot in the wood bobs the bobs' chains, and the actual timing mechanism. That makes for a more accurate clock, though...
